I don't recall ever referencing that particular paper in this working
group. I advocated elimination of the Sunrise RPM long before that
paper was even published. That paper only came out in late July:

http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2017-July/002256.html

and as per the archives, no one ever replied to that thread.  I've
searched past emails, and can't find myself referencing it all here.

My reasoning for elimination of sunrise isn't based at all on that
study, especially since the reasoning predated that study.

Not only has it not been "cited often", it's unclear anyone but Jeremy
has even  mentioned it.

If you have a link to me (or anyone else for that matter) referencing
that paper on this PDP mailing list, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I
think you should correct your statement.

Sincerely,
